Several years ago the boyfriend of the mother of one of my 12 or 13 year old students tried to rape her (the student, not the mom). Her mother stabbed him through the heart. Fortunately the mother didn't spend a day in jail and the daughter has grown up with no problems.

Yet another story about the Thai police doing NOTHING...

So, are these Yellow shirts, Red shirts, Orange shirts, Green shirts or Blue shirts? I really can't keep track of who hates Thaksin and who is in bed with him!

^ However, if that same couple lived near SF or LA, given the cost of living there, they would still be one paycheck away from being homeless.

It seems to go from Bang Yai in Nonthaburi through Nakhon Pathom to Kanchinaburi.

The last time I checked AIs didn't have taste buds or stomachs. How on Earth does an AI know how to rank food???

I thought that PAD stood for People Against Democracy. It seems that i was wrong.

I really shouldn't ask this... but did she do the laundry?

Next year, when you give them a hand-drawn map, they will ask for a Google Map printout! They are consistent in their inconsistency.

Her pointing is, at best, a 5 on a scale of 1 - 10.

^ There are 240 million Pakistanis and more are being born every day. Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria and most African countries are producing kids like it was going out of style. Those kids are leaving their already overcrowded countries and while their first choices would be Europe or North America, the ones who cannot get in there will cheerfully settle in Thailand. The problem is not lack of children, it's where those kids are being born!

The issue isn't just declining population, it's more an issue of WHO is having children and who isn't. We are already seeing immigration from countries with high population growth to countries with low population growth. The future Europeans, Chinese, Japanese, etc., are now being born in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Nigeria, etc. If they really want to address future problems, they should be planning how to educate and integrate the third-world immigrants who will replace the non-existent native-born future generations.

I am sure that your doctor already checked this, but I had tinnitus and hearing loss in both ears and when I finally saw a doctor, he stuck the world's tiniest vacuum cleaner into my ears and sucked out an amazing amount of solidified ear wax! My hearing instantly went back to 100% and the tinnitus stopped as well.

For me it was just random chance. A customer gave me a round trip ticket to Thailand. A year and 3 shorter trips later, I came here for good.

Hamas might release one or two for propaganda purposes, but they have nothing to gain by releasing them all. In fact, they are probably hoping that some are killed by Israeli bombing.

Potjeman's father was a former national police chief who was very powerful and influential. He gave Thaksin his start in business by giving him a monopoly on police pagers. He was Big Joke's patron back when BJ was just starting out. I'm sure that he already knows Potjeman well and is simply reaffirming his loyalty.

Is your university near the Train? A commute by train from Northern Bangkok would probably take no more than 45 minutes and would cost just a few baht per trip. I commuted by train in the past and found it safer and much more relaxing than driving. As a student, you could use the commuting time to read and study. https://ttsview.railway.co.th/SRT_Schedule2022.php?ln=en&line=1&trip=1

From China, arrested in Thailand and bound for Australia. So where will they be tried and sentenced? In China where they will get a bullet in the back of the head? Or Thailand where the will stay in a hot, crowded prison for a few years? Or will they get the jackpot - prison in Australia?

The full article says that he is the Palestinian ambassador to both Thailand and Malaysia.

It doesn't matter whether you live in the UK, the USA or China. The future looks bleak for everyone who is not one of the top 10% of the economy. When I lived in Silicon Valley, I referred to myself as a Techno-Serf. That is the going to be an increasingly common description!

So, AFTER the incident is posted in social media the police became involved?? Why weren't the police doing their job and investigating this hit-and-run when it happened?

Fortunately he isn't. As an appointed, rather than elected, successor, he would be passed over if presidential succession became an issue.

This is like the Roman bread and circuses. They are willing to give any equality except for economic equality!

Age won't really have much to do with it. I got my Thai Teaching License at the age of 60 and have renewed it since then. As for getting another waiver, you really need to convince the KuruSapa that you are working toward a real license. Since they are no longer accepting PGCEi's or Graduate Diplomas, you probably need to sign up for the KSP's own course, which may or may not be possible.
